Mortal Kombat II Special based on SNES MK2 Beta

[Super_Famiclone]

Ever wondered why in MK2 Special main menu doesn't have "start/options" text, Jax' pants are blue, and Rayden is spelled Raiden? That's because it was based on the SNES MK2 Beta version! I know that this info is useless, just a little trivia for you guys  :rolleyes:
Check the pics (MK2 Special / MK2 Beta / MK2 Final):

Makes sense for the most part, but if this is true then I'm wondering where Hummer Team could've possibly got the beta from back in the mid-90s.

Wow, that is a bit odd. This isn't Hummer's only time they copied something from the beta either. (Hummer's Final Fight 3's cut scenes are based off of the beta FF3)

Maybe J.Y. Company also worked as an importer for games in Taïwan and they eventually asked for prototype before the release of  a game to advertise it and it somehow landed in Hummer Team hands. That's the only thing I can think of and it would be the same for FF3.
